At Netmark, we aim to make the billing process for our services as transparent and simple as possible. With our services being unique and customer-centric, our prices vary from client to client.
Our costs vary on several factors – level of user-defined specifications, turnaround time (TAT), and monthly page volume. Some of our more comprehensive services involve multiple medical professionals, which may increase the individual reporting costs. Netmark also offers standard pricing or flat-rate plans that may apply for larger, consistent weekly/monthly volumes to any individual, group, or organization.
These costs are discussed and finalized between the client and a Netmark representative.
Netmark typically invoices for standard MRR (medical record review) work in a line-item fashion based on per page or bid cost. The invoicing separates each submitted case by case/client name, date, and/or customer billing account number. For ease of operation, Medico-Legal clients often request charges and costs to be reflected in an hourly rate fashion, which can be accommodated if required.
Life Care Plans (LCP) and Medical Cost Projections (MCP) may require multiple professionals to review and provide input, depending on their complexity. This has a direct impact on the TAT and end cost. Before beginning the process, each LCP or MCP will be scrutinized and agreed upon in a bid fashion.
